Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

cbrt():

_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;

or cc -std=c99

cbrtf(), cbrtl():

_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOUCE >= 200112L;

or cc -std=c99

The cbrt() function returns the (real) cube root of x. This function cannot fail; every representable real value has a representable real cube root.

These functions return the cube root of x.

If x is +0, -0, positive infinity, negative infinity, or NaN, x is returned.

No errors occur.

Multithreading (see pthreads(7))

The cbrt(), cbrtf(), and cbrtl() functions are thread-safe.

C99, POSIX.1-2001.
